Alternatively, there may be scope for further development, subject to the necessary consents, reflecting precedents set within the surrounding area.

A beautifully maintained garden of considerable scale extends to approximately 173 metres by 114 metres, gently leading towards the historic surroundings of Eltham Palace. The outlook is one of uninterrupted greenery, often accompanied by the sight of grazing horses, creating a setting reminiscent of the English countryside while remaining within convenient reach of central London.
